NEW YORK, Nov. 27 (UPI) ‑ The alleged victim of a New York City
counselor in an ultra-Orthodox Jewish sect described in court how he sexually
molested her.

The trial of Nechemya Weberman, 54, charged with 88 counts of
sexual abuse of a minor, is also a study of the ways of the Satmar Hasidic
religious community, which will undergo scrutiny in the trial, The New York
Times said Tuesday.

Authorities say the sect has historically avoided such prosecutions
by keeping members quiet, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.

In testimony Tuesday, the unnamed girl, now 17, said she began
seeing Weberman, a respected but unlicensed religious counselor, in 2007, when
she was 12, sometimes up to four times per week.

“I had a lot of questions about religion. How do you know God exists?,”
she said. Of the alleged abuse, she said, “I didn't know what to do. I didn't
know how to respond. I didn't know how to fight back. He would continue
touching me all the time. I wanted to die rather than live with myself.”

Assistant District Attorney Kevin O’Donnell said the alleged victim’s
parents sent her to Weberman after she was shunned by the Satmar Hasidic
community for dressing immodestly, by the sect's standards, and for questioning
authority, noting, “It doesn't sound like modern Brooklyn, it sounds like the
Salem witch trials.”

O’Donnell alleged in court Monday Weberman fondled the girl in his
office and forced her to perform oral sex “over and over again.”

The alleged sexual demands continued over a three-year period, The
New York Times said.

The defense has argued the girl’s accusations stem from an incident
in which Weberman and her father secretly videotaped her engaged in sex with
her boyfriend, then turning the tape over to authorities to have the boyfriend
charged with statutory rape. The lawsuit and accusations were devised to
retaliate against Weberman, the New York Post reported Tuesday.

The case had divided the close-knit and closed-mouth sect, with
some rallying behind Weberman and raising funds for his defense, The Wall
Street Journal said.
